Chapter 98 Complete elimination of HIV

With the platform of Future Medicine, Chen Can’s comprehensive skills in traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine are fully utilized!

At the end of 2004, a new anti-cancer drug in Chen Can's laboratory entered clinical application.

This anti-cancer drug is an innovative drug that can inhibit pancreatic cancer!

Pancreatic cancer is the king of cancers, with a mortality rate of almost 100%. The reason why Chen Can studied this cancer first is very simple. After being examined, his cheap dad got the disease again, and it was already in the advanced stage!

Chen Can remembered that in the movie, the father did not appear a year later. He might have had pancreatic cancer.

Pancreatic cancer is generally undetectable. Once it is discovered, it is basically at an advanced stage and you only have a few months to live!

There are currently more than 260 types of known cancers, and there are dozens of common cancers. It can be said that humans are so lucky if they can spend their lives in peace!

The cancers that can be truly cured by humans are the common ones, and they must be in the early to mid-stage. Even for ordinary cancers, in the late stages, it basically depends solely on personal will!

Chen Can originally didn't want to fight cancer. He just wanted to study some diseases casually, but after his father was diagnosed, he became keenly interested in cancer.

If humans could really cure all cancers, perhaps the overall life span of humans could be extended by dozens of years.

Of course, Chen Can estimates that he will never be able to accomplish this goal in his lifetime.

But with the development of medicine in the future, if we focus on cancer, after decades of accumulation, we may really be able to become No. 1 in the medical field!

Anyway, this world is also his testing ground. After having a goal, Chen Can devoted himself to it wholeheartedly.

Although Chen Can has perfect skills in both Chinese and Western medicine, the mysteries of the human body are not so simple to study.

The Phase I clinical trial of this new drug for treating pancreatic cancer was not very successful. The success rate of animal experiments is not enough to support Phase II human trials!

The progress of the new drug was not smooth, but the cheap dad couldn't wait any longer. It took less than three months from the time of diagnosis to the time when his condition completely worsened.

Chen Can finally understood why pancreatic cancer is called the king of cancers. This cancer can almost spread throughout the body in a very short time, without even the possibility of rescue, and finally die with this body!

Chen Can had no choice but to become a living doctor and secretly conducted a Phase II experiment on his father.

The results of the experiment were not too bad. The rapidly spreading cancer cells began to shrink. However, my father suffered serious side effects. He was no longer able to eat and often fell into coma.

The progress of human medicine really requires thousands of lives to lay the foundation.

By conducting experiments on Cheap Daddy, Chen Can gained first-hand information.

Finally, in June 2005, my father’s health deteriorated completely and he passed away in early August!

From the time he was diagnosed with late-stage pancreatic cancer to his death, it lasted for sixteen months. With current medical treatment, my father could only live for three to five months at most. Now, his life has been extended by more than a year. This innovative drug also

Considered a preliminary success!

Subsequently, this drug went through clinical phase II and clinical phase III, and was finally approved for marketing in July 2006.

Chen Can named it "Hope". Although its appearance cannot completely cure pancreatic cancer, it can extend the lives of terminal patients by more than two years.

Life is priceless, but medicines are valuable. The research and development cost of this medicine is several times higher than that of Shuguang. The final price is 8,400 soft sister coins per box. This is the price in China. When it comes to foreign countries,

Prices must be calculated in US dollars.

At this price, Future Medicine still doesn’t make much money, but because of this drug, Future Medicine has won several honors and received hundreds of millions of dollars in incentives and support from above!

The launch of this innovative drug has once again shocked the entire medical community. Future Medicine has completely become China's top pharmaceutical company and finally has a place in the world's medical community!

Although Future Medicine has never been profitable before, there are countless consortia that want to invest in this company. Its valuation has soared from 8 billion two years ago to 50 billion now!

The most valuable thing about a pharmaceutical company is not the size of the pharmaceutical company or the number of employees, but the potential demonstrated by the company in research and development.

Future medicine, with two perfect anti-cancer drugs, has finally gained a firm foothold!

However, the company is not profitable, and no matter how high the valuation is, it is just a cloud. Moreover, Chen Can did not think about this stage and hurriedly introduced capital.

The valuation is 50 billion, which is still a soft currency. When converted into US dollars, it is less than 10 billion. This is too little to look at him!

The third innovative drug developed by Future Medicine, Chen Can is ready to play a big role. The new drug developed this time is for profit!

The level of this challenge is that it is not cancer, but people are more afraid of it than cancer!

It is the famous HIV, and Chinese people call it "AIDS"!

Yes, the disease Chen Can wants to challenge is HIV, a disease that can cause functional defects in the human immune system.

This disease has not appeared for a long time, that is, only a few decades, but its speed of infection and its reputation are almost at the ceiling level among all levels!

Its appearance can be said to have changed a certain group and made countless people change their minds after hearing Ai.

There are two reasons why Chen Can challenged this disease.

This disease is so famous that if a specific drug is developed, Chen Can estimates that he will win the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

Another point is that this disease is very popular in Europe and the United States. Many rich people have suffered from this disease for various reasons. Not to mention selling patents, or licensing them to those pharmaceutical giants, they can make billions of dollars every year!

There are thousands of diseases in human beings. It can be said that the human body itself is a giant infectious body. For example, a healthy modern person who travels back to ancient times will instantly become the source of plague.

This is not surprising. After tens of thousands of years of evolution, many terrifying beings have already become symbiotic with humans. If there are no special environmental changes, those terrifying beings in the body will follow them from birth to ashes.

Accompany this body for life.

The real secret of the body is the genome. The knowledge Chen Can currently possesses is still unable to penetrate the mysteries of human genes, but the knowledge given to him by the system is far beyond this era.

HIV is a wonderful virus. Since its birth, the medical community has conducted countless studies on this virus, but in the end they were unable to conquer it!

HIV is amazing. It is not fatal in itself. It will lie dormant in the human body and eventually build a virus reservoir. The current drugs and treatments available to humans cannot completely eliminate these viruses.

Even if special means are used to kill most of the HIV virus in the body, the HIV in the reservoir will be copied and pasted again, and finally jump across again!

Once you are not careful, the HIV virus in this reservoir will take the initiative to kill the healthy cells in the host's body, eventually causing the host to lose immunity and eventually suffer from various diseases.

The ultimate cause of death for many HIV patients is not the HIV virus, but the fact that healthy cells are eaten away by HIV, and eventually they are plagued by various other diseases, their whole bodies fester, and they are eventually killed by other diseases!

Although Mirae Pharmaceuticals has not yet completely made a profit on a large scale, it is still enjoying a comfortable life with the global patents on two anti-cancer drugs.

There is no shortage of hundreds of millions of R&D funds every year. The company's scale is also expanding year by year, and there are more office buildings and experimental equipment every year.

Future Medicine's R&D team has not expanded on a large scale and is still dominated by Chen Can's experimental team.

His positioning of this pharmaceutical company is very simple, that is, to assist him in completing experimental research and development, and finally launch new drugs on the market, and verify the experimental results on patients across all mankind!

Chen Can was immersed in the experiment and couldn't help himself. He left almost all the company's affairs to Liu Sihui and her team.

Future Medicine is a joint-stock company. On the surface, Liu Sihui holds the majority of the shares, but in fact the owner behind these shares is Chen Can.

Of course, the interests behind this cannot be hidden from the higher authorities, but since 2003, Chen Can's personal information has become more mysterious, and the relevant departments also deliberately concealed Chen Can's existence.

He wanted to keep a low profile, and his superiors were naturally happy to see it that way.

For a country, the birth of a pharmaceutical giant is not what the country needs most. A pharmaceutical company that can continue research and development is the country's most valuable asset.

Although Chen Can has no contact with the top person, both parties have a tacit understanding.

The initial research on HIV went very smoothly. In fact, research data in this area is easy to find.

But when it comes to the real critical point, there has been no progress.

Through experiments, Chen Can discovered that in order to completely eliminate HIV from the body, its virus reservoir must be completely destroyed.

This is precisely what stumps researchers around the world. I don’t know how many pharmaceutical giants are stuck at this step.

Therefore, the HIV treatment drugs on the market basically inhibit the spread of the virus, allowing HIV to calm down and completely live in peace with the host.

In fact, by twenty years later, research was on this treatment.

It works!

It’s not too bad, many HIV patients can live for more than ten or even twenty years.

But this thing is a bomb, a bomb stored in the body.

Spring is cold and autumn is cool. If you accidentally catch a cold, the HIV in your body will become excited and it may kill you!

Therefore, once you get HIV, you hope that you will never get sick in your life. Maybe a small cold will cause encephalitis, pneumonia, and eventually the whole body will fester and die.

Chen Can has been researching for three full months, but has not been able to find the source of HIV, and cannot even completely eliminate the HIV virus reservoir.

Even if HIV is completely undetectable in the blood, as long as the other party is given a small chance, the other party will occupy the host's body again in almost a short period of time.

Chen Can found it very interesting. HIV's replication ability far exceeds that of other viruses and is even more domineering than many cancer cells.

This thing is a group of unkillable little predators. It seems that the house is clean, but when you leave, they will multiply rapidly and eventually become completely overrun.

The most important thing is that the host's body is its nutrition. Unless this body is completely turned into ashes and refined in the crematorium, this thing will be destroyed along with the host.

However, since it is a virus, there must be a way to kill it, but I haven’t found it yet!

Chen Can is not in a hurry, he is not even in a hurry to return. The research conditions he has now are really difficult to have in other worlds.

If it hadn't been for that special incident in 2003, Chen Can wouldn't have received recognition and support from his superiors.

In the future, medicine will not be able to remain at ease without being harassed by capital in today's era where wolves are entrenched.

It can be said that the current future medicine is the product of the right time, right place and right people. Chen Can naturally does not want to give up now and chooses to return!

Research on HIV continued until 2008. After Chen Can accompanied his fourteen-year-old son to watch the Olympic Games in Beijing, he finally got some insights!

From 2002 to 2008, I have been in this world for six years without realizing it. For Chen Can, I don’t feel much about time.

My son, who was eight years old at the time, is now fourteen years old. Because he spends a lot of time in the laboratory, his son is always under the supervision of a nanny.
